In 1992, Tkautz was a 17-year-old was playing the role of Nikki Spencer on E-Street in Channel 10's drama soap, E-Street, and like many TV stars before her, ventured into the music world. Melissa's debut single, "Read My Lips", caused a storm with provocative lyrics such as "if you want to wait till later then hands off my detonator".
"Read My Lips" took 6 weeks to climb to number one - making it one of the fastest climbing Australian chart toppers of 1991. The single spent 2 weeks at number one, 11 weeks in the top 10 and 20 weeks in the top 50. Tkautz's debut single ended up as the 6th highest selling song in Australia for 1991 and in South Australia, where the local charts were heavily biased towards dance and pop music, only Bryan Adams' mega worldwide smash "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You" managed to outsell Melissa's "Read My Lips" in that year. Tkautz's next release, "Sexy (Is The Word)", took four weeks to peak at number 3, spending almost two months in the top 10.
"All I Want" is a song and single by Australian singer and actress Melissa Tkautz. There was no promotional video for "All I Want", and the single was only a minor chart success in Australia, peaking at number 72 in the singles chart.
